What happened to the "20" looks like broken.

Maybe it was the light - it looks fine to me...

LEC also fixed - thanks guys! I've spent all weekend telling a gen owning mate how great the rep looks - I'd have looked a bit daft if id sent that pic to him!

My eyes are the opposite of sharp.

Thank you Smoke - that's good enough for me.

Turning the crystal wasn't too bad this time - probably all the practice I had over the weekend..

Now I just need to see if I can live with the SEL or put it on an Everest/Rubber b....!

I removed the entire crystal and the bezel retaining ring...:bang:

I'll shut up before I make myself look even more foolish - I'm just glad it's done!

One high End jeweler in my town has manage to plate it..

He said that he used a machine that cost seven digits "x,xxx,xxx" to plate it.

I am not sure about the cost. He just took it to try and for fun.

But looks damn good

1 month and the sponge is going strong
Managed to get the 20 dirty on the first day but cleaned it out with a little soap and a q tip
